Total Weight Gain/Loss: As of last doctor's visit (July 7) i have gained 8 lbs.

Maternity Clothes:Yes!!! I've pretty much out gown most of my regular pants and some of my shirts are becoming too short. :(

Sleep: Some days YES, some days NO. I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom...so it kind of interrupts my sleep. I've also been getting achy hips..so my mom got me a body pillow (best invention EVER). Hubby seems to think it's his though.

Gender: It's a boy! We found out on July 1st. We are SUPER EXCITED...i've always wanted a boy first (i love the idea of 'big brothers' because i had one)

Movement:

Don't know if what I'm feeling is the baby, or if it's my imagination. Kinda feels like an eye twitch...or sometimes Gas. My sister-in-law and cousin said that it feels like water moving around, but i haven't felt that. Maybe my baby is just different. LOL

Food Cravings: Still not craving anything...i am really getting lazy though. I'm not cooking as much as i used to :(

Food Aversions: Nothing really...

How i'm feeling: My back continues to bother me...:( But it's more when i sit for long extended periods of time, or i'm not comfortable..

SOOO...yea, i suck for not writing for a while now. Sorry!! Again...I've been so consumed in baby-land somewhere...i must have forgotten about my blog. Although, i do read and follow lots of blogs, i don't find anything interesting to write about, because A...all i do is eat, sit on the couch, and eat some more...and B...it's like, super hot out...so all i do is A...yea, pretty much my life.

Anywhos.
So, since this baby was SO NOT PLANNED (But so very welcomed), i do in fact need to do something with my terrible ROOTS! I know that if this were 'PLANNED' i would've gone to my natural hair color and called it a day. Now I'm suffering from pregnant head...and it's not cute.
I went to the beauty supply at lunch...which by the way, in NY it's about 189 degrees out...and when you're pregnant...it seems THAT much HOTTER. I don't think in the 26 years of life, I've EVER been this HOT. I feel like my skin burns! ...oh yea, back to the story: so, i went to the beauty supply and i picked up Colora HENNA creme. The box says it best: "Hair color & conditioner with natural henna, no ammonia, no peroxide.".

I was wondering if any of you ever dyed your hair while pregnant...and if so...what are your feelings about it. Have any of you ever put Henna in your hair?? I want reviews. Post away!!

It's crazy! We found out a few weeks ago, but i decided to keep it a secret until we told everyone in our families. Mr. C is SOOOOOO EXCITED. He has so many plans (baseball, football, etc) for them! It's really weird, because i really do feel that every woman has intuition about what they are having, the SECOND they find out. Like, I remember finding out, and saying "I know it's a boy". Isn't that weird, scary? And when they told us, i just KNEW it. Anyone else have the MOTHERS Sixth Sense about what they were having???

...we celebrate the first date, the first kiss, the first holiday together-but what really counts is what happened before this public story:that moment, more of a pulse than of thought, which goes-"Yes, perhaps her, and Yes, perhaps him." -Julian Barnes
